What Can You Learn by Undertaking a EUSR CAT & Genny Course?

The CAT & Genny training course is specifically designed to give supervisors and operatives in-depth knowledge of how to conduct cable avoidance operations in a safe and secure manner. As a matter of fact, there are several main contractors and businesses that do not allow the work to process unless a survey has been carried out but a trained surveyor who is qualified to the standards of EUSR.

EUSR or the Energy and Utilities Skills Register is a completely independent body that requires surveyors to be trained to the highest level. Only after assessing the training of the surveyor, this recognised body awards the trainer with a EUSR card, which enables the surveyor to work on various projects like, HS2.


By undertaking a EUSR CAT and Genny course, you will be able to learn the following:

  • Be able to safely use a pipe detector or cable detector when sent to an excavation site
  • You will be capable of identifying and reading electricity, gas, telecom and water service plans by using specialised equipment.
  • Identify undamaged, as well as, damaged underground utility services with the use of penetrating radar and such tools
  • Gain proper understanding of the guidelines of underground services and the effects of a cable strike
  • Identify and locate buried utility services by learning the right use and limitations of the CAT & Genny
  • Be able to complete plans that show that the services have been detected and excavation work can proceed safely

EUSR CAT & Genny training programmes are offered by several professional companies. By undertaking this course, you will be ensuring the safety of your workers and yourself, along with the people living near the excavation site. Also, you will not be adding to the 60,000 cable strikes that the UK experience each year.
